My ongoing theme is always the truth, as I see it, and the exposure of lies, deception and manipulation wherever they exist. I remain firmly convinced that the world can no longer resist its innate urge to unite and co-operate with one another and we are very close to the point where war can no longer be an option if this transformation is to occur.

FUKUSHIMA DEADLY UPDATE / SILENCE REMAINS SUPREME

Fukushima is here, it is no longer a Japanese problem ~ it is a
growing world problem which is still being ignored. Here's an update on my
report of May 14,2013 where I demonstrated that a creeping and never ending
deadly fog of radiation, invisible to the eye but not to the immune system,
continues to blanket the West Coast while its human cost is barely being
mentioned ~ mainly due to a worldwide media blackout : Allen L Roland

The
Fukushima Genie that was released over two years ago is still spouting and
leaking forth deadly radiation while silence remains supreme among the
worldwide media.

A new study in April
of 2013 suggested that nuclear fallout from Fukushima in March of 2011 has led
to significant elevated rates of congenital thyroid illness among infants born
on the West Coast and Hawaii ~ keeping in mind that President Obama not only
denied this threat but ordered the EPA to stop weekly & monthly testing for
radiation in April of 2011 . As such, a creeping and never ending deadly fog
of radiation, invisible to the eye but not to the immune system, continues to blanket the West Coast
while its human cost is just beginning to be perceived. See my May report ~ http://www.veteranstoday.com/2013/05/14/fukushima-fallout-threat-and-cover-up-continues/

As
Change.org reports~ "Although the initial meltdown of three reactors,
from the earthquake/tsunami of March 11, 2011, occurred over 2 years ago, the
complex is still highly unstable, and leaking radiation constantly into the air
and water. The Pacific Ocean is more and more contaminated. West Coast
marine mammals are dying by the thousands, and West Coast babies are sick. The
FDA is not testing food for radiation, although many fish are contaminated, and
there have been reports of milk, mushrooms, seaweed being radioactive. Nor is
the air along the coast being checked by official agencies."

According
to Natural News reporter Ethan Huff, the lack of reliable information ~ at least in Japan ~may be less the fault of government than mainstream
media:

"New data released by Japan's Ministry of Health,
Labor and Welfare (MHLW) shows once again that the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear
disaster is far from over. Despite a complete media blackout on the current
situation, levels of Cesium-137 (Cs-137) and Cesium-134 (Cs-134) found in
produce and rice crackers located roughly 225 miles (~ 362 km) away from
Fukushima are high enough to cause residents to exceed the annual radiation
exposure limit in just a few months, or even weeks."

But
here is the hair raising report that impelled me to write this update ~ Radiation
leaking into groundwater from Fukushima Daiichi has increased 100 fold in the
past two weeks.

•
11,000 Becquerel's per liter – TEPCO’s measurement of Cesium-134 on July
9.

•
18,000 Becquerel's per liter -- TEPCO measurement of Cesium-137 on
July 8.

•
22,000 Becquerel's per liter – TEPCO’s measurement of Cesium-137 on July
9.

•
900,000 Becquerel's per liter – TEPCO’s measurement of the total radioactivity
in the water leaking from Reactor #1. This radiation load includes both
Cesium isotopes, as well as Tritium, Strontium and other beta emitters.
There are more than 60 radioactive substances that have been identified at the
Fukushima site.

•
10 Becquerel's per liter -- The officially
“safe” level for radioactivity in drinking water, as set by the NRA.

A Becquerel is a standard scientific measure of
radioactivity, similar in some ways to a rad or a rem or a roentgen or a
sievert or a curie, but not equivalent to any of them. But you don’t have
to understand the nuances of nuclear physics to get a reasonable idea of what’s
going on in Fukushima. Just keep the measure of that safe
drinking water in mind, that liter of water, approximately a quart, with 10
Becquerel's of radioactivity.

•
60 Becquerel's per liter -- For
nuclear power plants, the safety limit for drinking water is 60 Becquerel's, as
set by the NRA, with less concern for nuclear plant workers than ordinary
civilians.

•
60-90 Becquerel's per liter -- For waste water at
nuclear power plants, the NRA sets a maximum standard of 90 Becquerel's per
liter for Cesium-137 and 60 Becquerel's per liter of Cesium-134.

•
9,000 Becquerel's per liter -- On
July 8, according to TEPCO, the company measured radioactive Cesium-134 at
9,000 Becquerel's per liter. Since TEPCO
characterized this as 90 times higher than on July 5, the implication is that
the earlier reading (about 100) was less than twice as toxic as the allowable
limit and only 10 times more toxic than drinking water for civilians.

This water seeps into the Pacific,
loading the food chain with radiation. Fish off the coast of Japan are
also showing radiation spikes.

Meanwhile, TEPCO is
secretive, severely limiting access to the complex by journalists and by any
experts who are not beholden to the nuclear industry.

TEPCO has also been
accused of doctoring photos and videos to hide cracks in the aging concrete
buildings and containment tanks. The workers are overexposed to radiation,
underpaid, and must be rotated out after a few months, to be replaced by others
with little experience of the facility.

In
March 2013, researchers from the Stanford University Hopkins Marine Station
issued a report on Bluefin tuna caught off the California coast and tested for
radioactive cesium. The report found that Bluefin tuna were 100 per cent
contaminated, that not one was cesium-free. The report did not address such
questions as whether cesium would continue to accumulate in tuna or whether it
was appearing in other fish species.

The important aspect
of this research, according to the Stanford News, was that:

“The work supports the idea that the Fukushima
radioisotopes can be used to reliably determine the previously unknown
trans-oceanic movements of juvenile Pacific Bluefin tuna. This information
could be used to prevent tuna from being overfished.”

Reporting on the same
radiation leaking information, the Two Rivers Tribune in northern California
noted:

“On the coast of California, there is a deep sea kelp
forest at Corona del Mar that now contains concentrations of radiation that
are 250 times higher than levels found in kelp prior to the Japanese nuclear
accidents. A research article published in Scientific American reports that
radiation accumulated in fish that ate near the kelp…. Presently, there is no
research as to what is the exact effect on fish and their offspring will be
from the increased levels of radiation that are being found….

“The Japanese
government has banned both the domestic sale and international export of most
fish that are caught off the Fukushima coast. Radiation levels are still rising
two years after the nuclear accidents. In January of 2013 the tested levels
of cesium were about 2,540 times what is considered safe for human consumption.
Strontium levels are 240 times the legal limit.”

"The first thing to
know about the danger from the radioactive mass remaining on site in the three
reactors that melted down at Fukushima is that nobody knows how much
radioactive material there is, nobody knows how much uranium and plutonium it
contains, and nobody knows how to make it safe ~ so no one knows how great the
continuing danger is." William Boardman

About Me

I'm a disabled active duty Navy veteran who was born in Boston, Massachusetts, survived a dysfunctional family, pursued and lived my dreams, including being a Navy carrier fighter pilot. I found myself by fully opening my heart, wrote three books, sired four children and I'm still living my ultimate dream by making a difference from a place of celebration and service. My 1998 PhD dissertation on the UNIFIED FIELD was chosen by Noetic Science and Common Boundary as one of the top three world finalists on combining psychology and spirituality. I retired from my private practice in 2014, because of my service connected asbestosis related lung disease, and live in Antioch, California but still remain involved as a featured columnist on Veterans Today and heart centered spiritual consultant and advisor ~ particularly with combat veterans with PTSD as well as others with PTHD ( Post Traumatic Heart Disorder).
